ManvsMini Posted April 25 Author Share Posted April 25 Answer posting time. Question 108: A group of dolphins is called what? Answer: Spoiler A pod. Question 109: Which vegetable is used if a dish is described as "a la Crécy"? Answer: Spoiler Carrots. They can be used in the dish or as a garnish. The name comes from Crécy, France, where they grow what are considered the finest carrots. Question 110: Which book by ends with the titular vessel being impaled upon the Empire State Building? Answer: Spoiler James and the Giant Peach. Question 111: Rene Laennec invented which aid for doctors in 1816? Answer: Spoiler The stethoscope. Laennec wasn't comfortable placing his ear right onto a woman's chest to listen to her heart, and thus led to its creation. Question 112: The North Star is also known by what other name? Answer: Spoiler Polaris, or Pole Star, or Alpha Ursae Minoris. Any of the above is correct. It lies in the constellation Ursa Minor, and has been used for navigation for a long time. Question 113: Aurum was the old Latin name for which precious metal? Answer: Spoiler Gold. Its chemical symbol on the periodic table (Au) comes from this name, Latin in origin. Question 114: Who wrote the operas "The Magic Flute" and "The Marriage of Figaro"? Answer: Spoiler Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, in 1791 and 1786 respectively. Same drill as usual. Seven questions worth one point each. Seven points for the round. Brings the current possible point total up to 117. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cranky Dog Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 6 points (my best yet!) for 63 points. I only missed the carrot one. I got lucky with the Giant Peach as a Facebook meme about Roald Dahl popped up on my feed the very next day. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
